[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 1073252, member: 187442"] It would be very unusual for the wires to become disconnected, as they are generally secured, within the motor. If the motor is 15 years old, and the wiring, then there are a number of possible problems, including general condition, with the wires either wearing out, birds, or other animals, damaging the wiring, the motor casing becoming damaged, again due to the weather, hot summers, cold winters, wind and rain, which could cause problems. Either you can call out a satellite engineer, not generally a sky one, as they tend to know very little about motorized systems, or you get a friend/relative to help you. The trick of taking a 12v battery, up to the motor, with some wires, is very easy, and quick, and will quickly answer a lot of questions. If the motor moves, with new wires, then you know that the motor is working and you need the wiring replaced, if it doesn't then the motor needs repairing, or replacing. Do you know the make/model of the motor? [/QUOTE]
